1966 Map of Barren Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The Kootenai National Forest dominates this mid-1960s topographic study, showcasing a high-elevation landscape defined by drainage networks and pack trails. The area is characterized by the confluence of numerous mountain streams, including Swamp Creek, Miller Creek, and West Fisher Creek, which eventually feed the larger Fisher River. Resource extraction and forest management are evident through the presence of the Waylett Mine and various Prospects located near the South Fork of Miller Creek, while a Lookout Tower atop Barren Peak indicates the primary fire suppression infrastructure of the era. High-country access in this period relied heavily on an extensive system of pack routes, such as the Libby Divide Trail and the Iron Meadow Trail. These paths connect isolated water bodies like Schrieber Lake and Bramlet Lake, providing a detailed look at the backcountry infrastructure prior to modern road expansion.
